Pixey Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 At a guess, this is a problem with your server: "it is a server-side error and the easier and safer fix for the error would be contacting your hosting provider. .." Also, try clearing your cookies and cache.

technyk Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I had the same problem a few moments ago, but after few refreshes got to the download page. When I try to install, it throws this error (attached below), which may be associated to this issue Translation: Remote server returned an error: (406) Unacceptable.

Rick Brewster Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Likely a transient error. If that’s the case it will go away in a bit. If not then I’ll file a support ticket with the hosting provider.

AIM Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 I'm now able to see the site without any errors.

schwaki Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I'm sorry, but I don't know how you manage to download paint.net from dotPDN. When I click on dotPDN and on the next screen on paint.net it just takes me back to the main page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go for the links in the Mirror Host column. When I first started with Paint.NET, I tripped over this myself, just as @schwaki has and the OP did in the linked post. Is there some way you could make those images actually look like buttons, or maybe just get rid of the Mirror Host links, so that people don't make this mistake and get stuck in an endless loop when they click dotPDN? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwaki Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 thx, Tactilis👍 ashes on my head. I always clicked on the host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 7 hours ago, schwaki said: thx, Tactilis👍 ashes on my head. I always clicked on the host. Yes, you did. And so did I in the past. And so have other people. There is a trivial change that would reduce the tendency of people to click on a Mirror Host link instead of a Download button. Just update from this: To this: I simply added the word 'download' before the word 'buttons' and have swapped the order of the columns. The reader's gaze now settles on the button images at the end of the row. They are now the obvious place to click. The updated text reinforces this. Any thoughts on this @Rick Brewster ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
